Description
In 1999, the predecessor body to Local Church Ministries, The Board for Homeland Ministries, created a scholarship for gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender United Church of Christ seminarians in honor of William R. Johnson, the first openly gay man ordained in the United Church of Christ. The scholarship was established as a concrete way of affirming the UCC's long-standing conviction that sexual orientation or gender identity should not be a barrier to ordination.Requirements

- be a second or third year student;
- be a member of a local United Church of Christ church for at least one year prior to application;
